Golden State Eyes Kawhi Or LeBron To Pair With Curry
The Warriors are gearing up for a headline summer. Marc Stein reports Golden State pursued Kawhi Leonard at the trade deadline and will "investigate that possibility once again." Rival teams call the Warriors "one of the few credible destinations" for LeBron James if he leaves the Lakers, and "It has some legs," a source told Stein. At 36-38 and 10th in the West, the roster around Stephen Curry needs reinforcements. Merlin senses both promise and friction. Steve Kerr’s contract expires and Kristaps Porzingis is an impending free agent, so Golden State must juggle chemistry, cap space, and divisional realities. Bringing in Leonard or LeBron would flip them into title contention overnight, but age, fit, and the Clippers’ reluctance to trade in-division make deals tricky. The pursuit is real, and the summer will test the Warriors’ appetite for bold moves.
